Spa aficionados are in for a new treatment that focuses on
living in the moment. Situated in the trendy Cabo San Lucas hotel
corridor, the 56-suite Casa del Mar Beach, Golf & Spa Resort’s
Suenos del Mar Spa has been making a name for itself with its wide
range of treatments. Spa guests enjoy Suenos-style pampering with
herbal and aroma wraps, massages, facials, skin care treatments and
therapeutic bodywork.
Recently, the progressive facility has added the indigenous
Tonantzin Ceremony spa treatment. Inspired by the Aztec goddess,
Tonantzin, this relaxing spiritual experience is designed to bring
peace and harmony by unifying the body, mind and spirit through
meditation.
“Casa del Mar is a Mexican hacienda-style resort where many of
Mexico’s ancient traditions are kept, and the Tonantzin ritual is
not an exception,” stated Ana Paula Valle, spa manager. “This
ceremony meets its own objective of bringing relaxation and peace
to our guests within the luxurious Mexican experience at Casa del
Mar.”
The resort’s setting couldn’t be better for this type of
treatment. The ritual takes place at sunset on the resort’s quiet
beach. A shaman welcomes guests into the circular bonfire with four
doors representing the four elements of nature earth, air, fire and
water.
“The ceremony is guided by the shaman as it used to be in the
Aztec times, and throughout the meditation several traditional
ingredients are used,” explained Valle.
After an initial aura cleansing, the Tonantzin treatment relies
on use of essential oils to lead participants into a meditative
state. The shaman recognizes the elements and explains how each
resides in the mind, body and spirit.
Participants are encouraged to live fully in the present. The
four elements replace the bad energies within for the good energies
they offer. Finally, the shaman cleanses the bad energies with
sacred feathers while participants receive a soothing cup of
tea.
Available through June 25 and again from Nov. 1- May 31, 2006,
the treatment is $54 per person.
Casa del Mar Beach, Golf & Spa Resort is part of the Cabo
Real resort development, known as "the Pebble Beach of Mexico.”
Guests have access to the championship 18-hole Cabo Real Golf
Course, four tennis courts and a paddle tennis court (all lighted
for night play). In addition to its treatments and services, Suenos
